37 CLASS OF SERVICE COMMANDS
The commands described in this section allow you to specify which data
packets have greater precedence when traffic is buffered in the switch due
to congestion. This switch supports CoS with eight priority queues for each
port. Data packets in a port’s high-priority queue will be transmitted before
those in the lower-priority queues. The default priority can be set for each
interface, also the queue service mode and the mapping of frame priority
tags to the switch's priority queues can be configured.
PRIORITY COMMANDS (LAYER 2)
This section describes commands used to configure Layer 2 traffic priority
on the switch.
Table 145: Priority Commands
Command Group Function
Priority Commands
(Layer 2)
Configures the queue mode, queue weights, and default priority
for untagged frames
Priority Commands
(Layer 3 and 4)
Sets the default priority processing method (CoS or DSCP), maps
priority tags for internal processing, maps values from internal
priority table to CoS values used in tagged egress packets for
Layer 2 interfaces, maps internal per hop behavior to hardware
queues
